The 6-foot-2, 280-defensive tackle out of Washington, D.C. is a big fan of the NFL's Washington Redskins. He knows Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell is from Auburn. Cornerback Carlos Rogers played at Auburn.

So did Tracy Rocker, the Tigers' defensive line coach. After winning both the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy at Auburn in 1988, Rocker went on to play two seasons with the Redskins, the first he was selected to the NFL All-Rookie Team.

"I don't really remember Coach Rocker playing for the Redskins, but I looked it up and saw it," said McReynolds. "He played for them when they were good."
